Problem Description: The main purpose of this report is to show how to solve a 3-D finite element model of a cantilever I-shape beam‚ which is subjected to two concentrated loads (P = 1600 lb.) at the flanges of the free end along z axis. In this assignment‚ a convergence study will be used to determine the convergence of the solution with respect to mesh refinement. In addition‚ it will be used to achieve an accurate solution for problems that have sufficiently dense mesh‚ which cannot be solve

Hardness Testing and Elastic/Plastic Deformation of Cantilever Beam February 9‚ 2012 Abstract This experiment examined the effect of a load placed on the end of a cantilever beam as well as the hardness of three different metals using the QV-700 Universal Hardness Tester. Introduction The overall purpose of this experiment is to become more familiar with experimental processes which will be used continuously throughout the semester. The first process was indentation hardness testing

Investigation of the factors affecting the period of vibration of a weighted cantilever Introduction The aim of the experiment is to find out how the period T of vibration of a weighted cantilever depends on the vibrating length L. Hypothesis: Assume the relationship between the vibrating period T and vibrating length L is in accord with the equation: T=kLn‚ where k and n are both constant values. According to the hypothesis‚ the vibrating period T and vibrating length L is a linear relationship

IB Physics Internal Assessment Andy Tang Research Question In this internal assessment‚ I am given a cantilever to find the physical properties of it. I decide to investigate the relationship between the force I act on one side of the cantilever and the maximum acceleration the tail can reach. This experiment will be also showing the elasticity of the cantilever. Since I pull down one side of it and fixed the other side‚ when I cut the string‚ it will bounce up and down until all the internal

Research Paper There are many types of Bridges. Some common types of Bridges include Beam‚ Arch‚ Suspension‚ Cantilever‚ Truss‚ and Cable-Stayed bridges. Bridges are ancient. They have been with us for over 2500 years. The Zhaozhou Bridge is the oldest standing Arch Bridge. It was built in 605 AD. Beam bridges are one of the most simplest types of bridges. The Beam Bridge could be anything as simple as a plank of wood. Or a complex structure. The Beam Bridge is composed up two or more supports

Introduction i- Rezzen Realty Sdn Bhd has appointed to manage a piece of land with size of 50 acres‚ into a mixed development project at Sepang. I have been requested to incorporate green concepts design and sustainable features from inception and completion into the whole project. The whole of the project divided into three (3) phases‚ span over 5 years. The first phase is to a proposal to construct a high rise luxury condominium project on the hilly slope. I have been requested to look into selection

The loads applied in this stage are due the form travelers and the weight of the wet concrete for the segments 2‚ applied at the same time range specified in the previous stage‚ also the prestressing loads from the cantilever tendons for segments 1 are applied when the concrete has an age of 3 days. The loads due to the form travelers because the form travelers have been moved into position for the next segments‚ and the weight of the wet concrete for the segments 1
